정전 – 화학사고 예방 대책
♦정전에 따른 화학사고 위험성 정전이 발생하면 몇 초만 이상이 있더라도 석유화학공장 공정이 중단되고 설비 내 원료가 굳는 등 복구에만 수일이 걸리는 막대한 경제적 손실이 초래된다. 뿐만 아니라 이상반응으로 인한 폭발, 반응 중 물질의 폐기에 따른 환경오염 등 근로자 및 지역주민의 안전에 심각한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 우리나라 대다수 석유화학단지는 가동을 시작한지 20~40년 이상 되어 사용설비 […]

화학물질 중독 예방
◊ 화학물질의 정의 ‘유기화합물‘은 탄소를 함유하고 있는 화합물로 상온, 상압에서 휘발성이 있으며, 다른 물질을 녹이는 성질의 액체를 말한다. ‘유기화합물‘은 호흡기를 통한 흡입이 쉽고 피부로 흡수되기 쉬우며, 흡수된 후 중추신경 등 중요기관에 영향을 준다. ‘유기화합물‘의 종류는 지방족, 방향족, 할로겐화 탄화수소류, 알콜류, 에스테르류, 알데히드류, 케톤류, 글리콜류, 에스테르류 등이 있다. ◊ 유기화합물의 중동증상 영향인자 화합물의 구조 노출정도와 기간
지진 발생 대응법
♦ 지진의 종류 지진은 다른 자연재난과는 달리 발생 시기와 피해 규모를 전혀 예측할 수 없기 때문에 평소 대응법을 익혀 두는 것이 중요합니다. 지진은 발생 원인에 따라 크게 네 가시 종류로 나룰 수 있습니다. 구조지진 – 지구 내부 활동과 판의 움직임으로 인하여 발생 화산지진 – 화산 폭발의 충격으로 발생하는 지진 함몰지진 – 연약지반이나 큰 동굴이 무너지면서
인공호흡기의 시작
인공호흡기란? 인공호흡기는 호흡부전이 발생해 자력으로 숨을 쉴 수 없는 환자들의 호흡을 도와주는 기계장치이다. 현재 주로 사용되는 인공호흡기는 기도에 관을 넣은 후 외부에서 공기를 인위적으로 주입하는 것으로 폐에 압력을 가하는 방식이기 때문에 양합 인공호흡기 (Positive Pressure Ventilators, PPV)이다. 최초의 인공호흡기 최초의 인공호흡기는 철 폐(iron lung)로 불렸다. 1670년 영국의 생리학자 존 메이요는 흉강을 확장시켜 공기가 폐로 유입되는
Skin Care
SKIN CARE Many of the substances used in construction can damage skin if suitable precautions are not taken.
